We are talking about a man who is somewhat good looking, highly intelligent, driven, and a risk taker.
How in the hell he is not successful and had to steal *beep* He is also very good at conversing and selling himself. So to me it is not believable that he didn't have a decent job.
Maybe you're not familiar enough with the labour market. There are fewer and fewer good, traditional full time jobs available all the time, and those which are available have a great many applicants to choose from. Even bright, good looking, driven people end up working for temp services for years, not to mention those unlucky enough to be homely and not so clever. The idea that being polite and hard-working will ensure you find a decent job has hung on, even though it is no longer accurate.
Basta, basta, basta.
False. Someone as bright as him would've had a good job by then.
Aside from the fact he was socially retarded, of course.
A knew a person very much like Lou, she was smart (a member of Mensa) and personable most of the time, and also aggressive, but had no genuine social skills, so every job she had turned out to be a failure. Those types are not that uncommon.
In Lou's case he eventually hit upon something that made best use of his flawed skills and as we see became very successful at it. Just took him a few years to find his niche.

He has plenty of marketable attributes like those you mentioned, but he also has some severely negative ones that outweigh the good. His worst ones are selfishness, ruthlessness, and poor social skills.
What serious employer is going to hire him? Any job that requires strong ethics or really any ethics is out of the question. He has no formal education, which eliminates any job that requires higher than a high school degree. Hes not good with social interaction, which eliminates any customer service or retail job. Hes too restless for any kind of office desk job. Lou found one of the few jobs out there that really fits his qualifications.
He is also very good at conversing and selling himself.
One of the reasons the movie is called Nightcrawler is because he lives a nightlife.
I think that he had been seeking a job that would suit the life he wanted to live the closest.
He probably had a criminal record already, so finding good paying regular work was hard.

Because he is creepy. When he walks into a room, people take an immediate dislike to him. He just looks like he's up to no good all the time.
And, we found out that that's exactly the way he is. We saw him wait and watch and then try to take advantage of the situation any time he could.
Anyone that takes a chance and employs him will quickly learn that he's not a team player and will sell anyone out at any time for any price. The boss will fire him soon enough.
